Just my take:Would fans with historical knowledge of SU football consider Penn State to be our rival? Because our all-time series with them is 43-23-5 PSU, and our all-time series with Rutgers is 30-12-1 Cuse. In other words, very comparable in terms of one side dominating.
SU/PSU were rivals until the early 70's with many SU fans claiming a rivalry into the 80's but the truth is that once Syracuse tanked for a long period in the 70's, we cased to be rivals. The late 80's had some competitive teams, but no, we were no longer rivals and are not now rivals. We can still hate PSU, though.
